Concept: Out of Order Compensation Changes
To make ah-hoc pay adjustments simpler and to streamline compliance with policies and regulations, you can use an opt-in tenant configuration to enable users to process simultaneous compensation changes while other related events are in progress for the same worker or group of workers. For configuration instructions, see Set Up Simultaneous Compensation Changes.
Considerations
When you opt in and process mass compensation actions, Workday doesn’t change existing compensation process logic for out-of-order events. In addition, assignments in other in-progress or impacted events don’t refresh. Finally, if multiple in-progress compensation events share the same effective date, Workday processes the proposed values of each event by completion moment.
Understand how Workday processes compensation data before initiating a simultaneous compensation event:
- When a compensation event is initiated, Workday uses a worker'sCurrentassignment values based on their most recently completed event to determine effective compensation.
- When multiple compensation events are in progress, the assignment or plan values of those events will not refresh based on other simultaneously in-progress events.
When a compensation event is completed:
- Workday doesn't apply out-of-order data rolling to the plans or assignments of impacted future-dated or completed events. When you modify, add, or remove a plan assignment in an event initiated second, the event initiated first will not reflect the updated plan assignment value after the second event completes.
When processing multiple in-progress compensation events with the same effective date:
- Workday processes theProposedvalues of each event by completion moment. If you change the same plan for a worker in 2 in-progress compensation events, the assignment values from the event that completes last will be applied to the worker's effective compensation.
This processing can lead to unexpected results in
Current
event values and effective compensation assignments and reporting. To ensure that your simultaneous compensation changes reflect intended results and avoid overwrites, Workday recommends that you:- Consider existing in-progress compensation events before you initiate a simultaneous compensation event.
- Check the effective date of plan assignments against other in-progress events to ensure you are aware if an assignment has been changed elsewhere.
- Complete events in the desired order to ensure the intendedProposedcompensation values are assigned to the worker.
- Monitor in-progress events using the faceted standard reportFind Events.
